Proving that we aren't robots

We are receiving quite a few comments regarding the necessity to prove that we aren't robots when leaving comments. In the good old days this wasn't a problem but, since the format has changed to very difficult to read numbers and words (sometimes impossible,) it sometimes takes several attempts to get the code right.

If there is a possibility that you are willing to disable this function it would be much appreciated. There doesn't seem to be a problem with spam for those bloggers who do not use the code check. Thankyou!

Three Muses - Strawberries

OK, I admit I didn't take this challenge seriously, but I had a good time with my strawberry couple.   I hope everyone enjoys the challenge.   I'm anxious to walk through "strawberry fields" !!

Three Muses Challenge - Windows and/or Doors

THREE MUSES - WEATHER OR NOT

Hi, it's me Ann, and this week I'm challenging you to create art that reflects the weather where you live.

For me that's an umbrella and raindrops and threatening skies but perhaps you will show me sunshine, bright colours, holidays at the beach, alfresco eating or even a rain dance or two.  I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve.

Above all enjoy making art and come show us what you create.

Have fun!

Three Muses - Frames

I've always had trouble choosing just the right frame for anything.   This is an over-exaggeration of the problem!   I'm looking forward to seeing how all of you have used frames in your art this week.   I know you'll be creative!
